Fully automatic brewing apparatus is disclosed for economically and efficiently brewing large quantities of beverage. Beverage concentrate is first brewed from a dry, beverage-making material, such as granulated tea leaves contained in a rotatable funnel which may be pivoted for emptying the concentrate into selected one of a pair of large reservoirs. The concentrate is then automatically diluted to an acceptable strength and temperature by the timed addition of water to the reservoir in a stream which provides complete mixing of the concentrate with the diluting water.
